This year's AGM is on Tuesday, June 9 at 7pm, via Zoom. All parents of students registered at Sunnyside for the 2021/22 school year are invited to nominate, and vote in, next year's PAC team. It's a great way to meet parents, get to know Sunnyside's principals and teachers, and make a genuine difference in your child's school.

To learn more about the roles and responsibilities of members of the PAC executive, feel free to contact us at info@sunnysidepac.ca. Detailed info can also be found in the Call for Nominations Notice.

Thank you for helping our teachers feel loved and appreciated. The chalk artwork around the school was beautiful and uplifting. The PAC usually hosts a teacher and staff appreciation potluck lunch, with the help of our families, but for obvious reasons that couldn't happen this year. Instead, we gave all the teachers a small lavender plant, and a gift card for a local coffee shop. In addition, we decorated the staff room with lavender plants and pots filled with packaged candy and chocolate.

Online Red Cross courses are available until June, with many options. Students can learn first aid skills from the comfort of their home in time for Summer break. All courses are online. Follow the registration link online at First Aid Hero and use promo code Sunnyside. Sunnyside earns $8 from each registration! Allow enough time for the workbook to be mailed home.

Red Cross Babysitting Course for youth 11-15 years.

Red Cross Stay Safe Course for youth 9-13 years.

We live in a busy neighbourhood, but we can make a difference. We are asking for parents to help out from 8:15 to 8:30am, by wearing a safety vest, and walking on the sidewalks along the school, as a visual deterrent. Please contact jennifer@sunnysidepac.ca, to volunteer.

We have been approved for a Crossing Guard, but the position is unfilled due to a shortage of people. Interested individuals can contact Len, of the Frontiersman of the Commonwealth, at (604) 597-4787.

The Grandview Heights Transition Committee, composed of future GH parents, meets once a month with Principal Darren Bedard.
